Teaching Haryana (HPSC) Assistant Professor Mock Test 2025 Chemical Sciences Molecular Spectroscopy Vibrational Spectra of Diatomic Molecules
The vibrational energy for a diatomic molecule is defined as (\(G(v) = (v+\frac{1}{2})\bar{\nu}_e - (v+\frac{1}{2})^2\bar{\nu}_e x_e), where (\bar{\nu}_e\)) represents the fundamental frequency and (xe) is the anharmonicity constant. An infrared spectrum of a CO molecule in an excited state displays two transitions at (2143.26 cm-1) and (2124.83 cm-1), identified as transitions between vibrational levels (1→2) and (2→ 3), respectively. The (\(\bar{\nu}_e\)) and (\(\bar{\nu}_e x_e\)) (in cm-1) for the CO molecule in this state are:
1
2200.49 and 9.22
2
2076.23 and −9.22
3
2194.01 and 18.43
4
2180.82 and 9.22
